THE POLAR EXPEDITION.—We have the plea lure of announcing that a Whaler, which has just reached this Country,. states, that it fell in with this interesting Expedition in the first week in June, opposite to Magdalena Day, on Spitzbergen, in lat • 79. 34. all well. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The following are extracts :-- " PARIS, JULY 11,—The trial of Coignard, calling himself:Count Pontis of St. Helena, came on again yesterday, before the Court of Assizes. Several witnesses were examined as to his identity, after which the trial was adjourned till the 20th instant. " The King promenaded yesterda'y as usual, at seven o'clock in the morning, in the Park of St. Cloud. " It is generally reported that the pregnancy of the DUchess de Berry will be in' a few days officially announced. The ship ('Eugenie, Captain Vallois, having on board the Physician Robertson, proceeding. to the Brazils, fell in, off Cape Finisterre, with a whale 30 feet in length, which it was supposed had been wounded by some fishermen. The ship was unable to profit by this event, being com pelled, from circumstances, to continue her course. " They write from Vlaardingen (Holland), July 2:—This morning arrived here the first boat load of fresh herrings. After the customary pre sents hart been sent off to his Majesty, to the Princes, the Princesses, And high Dignitaries of the State, the remainder were sold at 700 flurins the too. FIVE PER CENTS.

The whole Imperial Family will be assembled at Baden, from whence, after staying some time, they will proceed to Lax enherg, where they will remain till the departure of the Emperor for Aix-la-Chapelle, and of the Erni); ess for Munich. Madame Catalani proceeds to Baden to sing at the Court Concerts. " FRANKFORT, JULY '3.—A very important private conference is said to have taken place be tween the principal Ministers at the Diet. " VIaNNA, JUNB 30.—A dreadful fire broke out at Indenburg on the 18th instant, which in the course of a hour and a half totally destroyed 103 houses, forming the whole town, except about 30 houses, the Presbytery and the Church. Five individuals perished in the flames." The Letter from Paris, which we insert this day, came too late for our Paper yesterday. Our Readers will recollect that we first communicated the intelligence of the Conspiracy which had taken place in Paris, and that The Morning Chronicle and The New Times professed to treat it as a mere in venti•on, or, as they both stiled it, a mystcation ; yet, upon the authority of a Correspondent at Paris, who, we knew, possessed ample means of information, though not the Correspondent whose information we have for several months submitted to our Readers, we persevered in representing it as a serious Plot, intended first for a compulsory abdication of the present Monarch, then to place M ONSIEUR on t h e Th ro ne for a short period, and afterwards the Duke of ORLEANS, if either could be found base and weak enough to accept a transitory honour, which would assuredly !lave led to their own destruction. We have extracted a part of a letter from Paris, which appeared in The Morning Chronicle of •yes tetday, which shews that the Conductor no longer treats the Conspiracy as a mystificaiion; but The New Times continues to be as inflexibly silent on the subject as the French Papers have hitherto been. We do not blame The New Times, } as we 'doubt not that the Editor does not wish to deceive its Headers, or to sport with its curiosity, and, therefore, waits for better information ; but as it accused M. De CAZE of being the author of the whole, it owes some apology to a Minister who has maintained the tranquillity of France amidst all the artifice and all the violence of contending factions. We have no connexion with M. Da CAZE, or any of his agents,, and we only speak from the authority of ttvo different Correspondents in Paris, one of whom favours its with the higher matters that float about that capital, and the other with politi cal events and speculations, and both of whom unite in a favourable opinion of DE CAZE, and conceive that if he is permitted to carry the whole system of his measures into effect, the Throne tvill be secured, and the Country be able to defend itself from internal danger, after the Al lied troops have withdrawn their protection. The democratical parade of yesterday is happily over, and we hope that the Capital will never again be insulted by such an unseemly sight. The Procession passed THE SUN Office, and 'never did we see such a motley assemblage. That some respectable tradesmen, and decent characters, were among the crowd must be admitted, but they were doubtless very weak men, and mere dupes to the real views of the Democratic Idol of the day. As to that Idol himself, he seemed to consider the whole as a humiliation rather than a triumph. There was a solemnity in his countenance which seemed as he were carried to a punishment rather than a celebration. We may truly say in the words of the Poet -4: With downcast looks the joyless Victor sate, " Revolving in his alter'd soul " The various turns of chance below, " And now and then a sigh he stole." We can truly affirm for ourselves, that we really beheld him with pity, and his followers with con tempt. We repeat, that there was a fixed me lancholy in his features, which none of the shouts of the rabble, •or the waving of handkerchiefs by young women at the windows, could dissipate. As to the Procession itself, it strongly reminded us, in many Farts of the line of march, Of HOGARTH'S famous picture of Gin Lane, except that none of the band were absolutely dead drunk, but there was a large proportion of the walkers that seemed hardly capable of standing, and were most pro bably kept on their 'legs by the surrounding crowd. The dull monotonous iuehtiety of some was diversified by the frantic levity of others. Several drunken old women, and poor tat tered girls, equally intoxicated, kept dancing along in the Procession, and were pushed ' about with little mercy by those proud Reformers, who were doubtless retained for the purpose of giving some appearance of decency to the occa sion. Several of the gentry, decorated with pur ple cockades, were actually carrying pots of porter in their hands, to refresh themselves duking their toilsome march. Among the Cavaliers who at tended, there were very few with any thing like a respectable appearance, and even the individuals who have mingled with better society seemed to be vulgarized, if not brutalized, by the association. For instance, it was difficult to make out Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIED among the herd of Tag Rug and Bobtail who surrounded him. IVe felt, how ever, some consolation that he was going from the Treasury, instead of towards it, for otherwise the attendant rabble might have recollected his suggestion on the Hustings, and have forced open its doors preparatory to a general at tack on all the Offices of Gorernment. We have given a brief account, in another part of our Pa per, of what happened previous to the dinner, where it is net wonderful that a vast multitude, ready to rush on the feast like ravenous wild beasts on their prey, had the grievous mortifica tion of seeing, like Macbeth, " the table full."— Mr. HOBHOUSE made a speech upon the occasion, full as good as any passage in his memorable Travels, that have some chance of being pre served from total oblivion in the recorded con tempt of The Quarterly ilevicw.—A long speech came of course from the Idol of the Day, after the hunger and thirst of the company had been somewhat, allayed, but as it consisted chiefly of hackneyed topics, worn-out abuse, and stale pro fessions of patriotism, we shall not load our pages by the insertion of such vague and vulgar matter.—lt is proper, however, to observe that he had the hardihood to talk about Purity of Election, after all that has been reported and be lieved respecting the means suddenly adopted to raise him upon the poll w h e n h e was sink ing into comparative- inslgnificanee, and would hardly, perhaps, have towered much above the wretched HUNT, whose voters were more likely to be disinterested, since he was des titute of the power of Corruption.. He declared that " he was the same man in .1818 that be was in 1802," and in this declaration we heartily agree with him, for though he is.always declaiming on Reform, it does not appear that there has been the least reform in himself. Lord CASTLEREAGH., of course, came in for some of his animadversion and abuse, but Mr. CANNING was the great object of his censure. He even pre samed to censure that Speech which Mr. CANNING delivered before a very different company to that of yesterday, consisting of most of the emi nent and respectable People of Liverpool, a Speech, that in political knowledge and saga city, as well as eloquence, has seldom been equalled, and perhaps never was surpassed.— Tile Baronet very wisely opened the. Hood-gates of abuse on Mr. CANNING'S political character, and endeavoured to refute the doctrines of that Gentleman's speech in a Tavern, because he knew he could not venture to attack the Speaker or the Speech in the only place where his sophistry could be detected, and his declamation refuted by argument, or treated with merited ridicule. He dwelt on the name'of Mr. CANNING with tiresome repetition, likeYottacK's starling, and till symptoms of yawning, from, what we have heard, began to appear among many of his hearers. But we shall take our leave of this subject, so disgraceful to the great Capital of the World, thus rendered the scene of such democratical parade, heartily commending Government for having made such arrangements as, notwithstanding the immense crowd assembled, and the danger that might rea sonably be apprehended, effectually secured pub tic tranquillity. We are rather surprised that Sir FRANCIS did not postpone his chairing until this day, the anni versary of the pulling down of the Bastille. The triumph of an English Jacobin Mub would have sorted admirably well with that triumph of the French Jacobin Mob, which ended in the murder of THE SOVEREIGN, twenty-five years of internal massacre and external rapine, and the usurpation of a foreign upstart. With this example before us, the BURDETTITES Will scarcely succeed in their purpose. ELECTION ANECDOTE.—During the recent Elec tion for iVestmoreland, at Appleby, a Mr. WIL SON, one of the most respectable Gentlemen of the County, attempted to address the people in favour of Lord LOWTHER, but as be was going to speak, one of the BROUGHAMITES gave a hint to his faction the Blues, who immediately raised such a bowling as totally prevented Mr. WIL SON from being heard, and after several ineffec tual endeavours he retired in disgust from such a scene of commotion. When this Gentleman withdrew, Mr. CURWEN, whose approach had been announced with great pomp, and who it was said would do wonders in support of Mr. BROUGHAM, stepped forward, and putting himself into his best oratorical attitude, began to address the multitude. At this moment a friend of THE LOWTHERS put the Lex talionis into act, and gave a similar hint to the Yellows to adopt the same mode that had prevented Mr. WlLsobr. The Yellows were not less resolute, and raised a con tinued shout of the same kind. Mr. CURWEN, " after a whole week's preparation of graceful oratory," was, therefore, entirely thrown away, much- to the disappointment of that Gentleman, who thought, by the weight of his reputation and the force of his eloquence, to have carried all before hint. GENERAL ELECTION.-1t is expected that there will be a greater number of Petitions for undue re turns to the next Parliament than for many years back. The following places, amongst others, ere mentioned ;—Nottingham, Hythe, Peters field, Grampound, Wootton Bassett, Colchester, Ipswich, Edinburgh, several of the Cornish Bo roughs, and many places in Ireland. THE QUEEN.—The Report from Kew yester day, of the state of her MAJESTY, was—" The QUEEN has had a good night, and is going on very well." DINNER AT THE STUD-HOUSE.—The Dinner given at the Stud-House, at Hampton Conk, on Sunday, was in a splendid marquee. The PRINCE Ra- GENT was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of KENT, the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, Prince LEOPOLD, the Grand Duke MicuAct. and Suite, the 'Ambassador from the Netherlands, the French Amhassor, the Spanish Ambassador and the Duchess of SAN CARLOS, the Russian Ambassador and Countess LIEVEN, Baron HUM BOLDT, and Count WORONZOFF. The PRINCE REGENT, on leaving Hampton Court, proceeded to Kew, to pay his dutiful respects to his be loved Mother, the QUEEN. The Duke of YORK paid his dutiful respects to her MAJESTY at the same time. Yesterday 'Viscount CASTLEREAGH and Count MUNSTER had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. The Dukes of YORK and CUMBERLAND visited the PRINCS REGENT yes terday. TtIEATRICAL REGISTER. Performer , Last Night. Tzt , Arft ROYAL.
